Need to keep that stuff to yourself). Just search adult games and you'll find all the sex happiness you want, and i'm sure they have forums too where sex talk is appropriate.
Im sorry how do we go from a broad reasonably civil discussion on the merits of a exclusively gay super group to sex talk?

there's been no sex talk in this thread there's not even been a hint of it till your post!

Re-read the whole thread. If you don't think any of it has to do with sex and what some people like then I would hate to hear your kind of talk like that.

We've already read the thread thanks. It's about people of certain sexual identies segregating or grouping based on their sexual identities and the desire to be able to easily find people they can relate too rather than potential abusive idiots, not about sex.

I think you're the one who needs to re-read it...

Been thinking about whats been said in this thread and the general counter argument to

"don't segregate your self by restricting your self to a gay only SG"

is along the lines of the SG would create a community for its members where they have more in common than a simple love of the game.

I'm thinking would a global channel not serve this purpose better as I'm sure there are gay gamers out there that will already be part of SGs and they may not wish to leave them. a global channel would solve this as well as allowing the community to exist cross faction and cross server which to my mind would seem better than a simple SG.

any ways just a thought.

The thread isn't just about sex - it's about man sex - it's about red hot boi on boi action.

Oh I forgot about that front. At Current City of Gaymers has a private channel and many of us also frequent the 'Pride' Public Channel. So any Gaymers or Gaymer-Friendly Players are welcome to join us. Though I'm not sure if Euro/NA segregates channels, but I'm thinking not.

Edit: LOL GG. Don't antagonize, trolls will be trolls, let them.

Thats what im talking about. People having sex. You said it right there. This is a game forum not a sex forum, but some have turned it into that. I could care less really, but this forum is rated teen (13+)This turned into something other than someone looking far an SG. W/E, have fun I dont think the thread will last though.

They are segregated by region.

Another topic entirely, but hopefully if ever they do merge the server/region lists we'll get truly global channels alongside it.

BTW - just checked and there's an EU channel called PRIDE with but 4 members and no description.. may be an EU gay Pride channel. Though there's no-one online in it to ask at the moment.

Sorry, Cherokee, but absolutely no-one here is promoting forum or in-game sex in any way, except in the extreme tongue-in-cheek fashion of Golden Girl.

This discussion has been extremely civil and everyone has put their point of view across in well thought out, reasoned and above all polite fashion, which is somewhat surprising given the hot-button topic, but speaks very well for the maturity of the players of this game who frequent the forum.

But nobody is turning this thread into a "sex thread" except in parody.

Sorry but must realise that you may be barking up a wrong (related but wrong) tree when your strongest evidence to support your claim comes from a Golden Girl post like the one you quote.

1.) You don't think 13 year olds talk about sex?
2.) You're the one, as far as I can tell by skimming, that has mentioned anything about sex
3.) GG was -obviously- joking. Well it was obvious to me, but I am more perceptive than others.
4.) Sensative much?
5.) You're right, this did turn into something other than someone looking for a SG, but this is by no means a sex thread.

EDIT: GG, wanna cybor? (This is just a joke, for those like Cherokee that don't understand. =)

Aww, come on - it's one of the best parts of the new forums

Also, Euro and American global channels are separate - the only way you could set up a transatlantic thing would be from an outside program - like a closed yahoo chatroom, for example.
It'd maybe be a bit annoying to have to tab between it and the game to keep up with the chat, but it's the probably the best way to allow Americans and Europeans to chat while playing.

Seeing as 99% of people doing that sort of thing are both usually straight AND the same sex, I really don't think it matters much...

Sure they do, but do they have to read about it on a GAME forum?!?

Wrong. I only have typed the word sex. So have a few others..my point? geez.

3.) GG was -obviously- joking. Well it was obvious to me, but I am more perceptive than others.

In an adult manner, there are kids that read the forums.


4.) Sensative much?

Not in the least.

5.) You're right, this did turn into something other than someone looking for a SG, but this is by no means a sex thread.

It is when every undertone is about it.

Dont have to be ignorant. Threads have been locked for less.

Cherokee. Until your somewhat confusing post, nobody in this thread was discussing sex. We were disussing sexual identity and people using that to group together. The two are rather different.

Cherokee, as far as I can tell (and, as always, I'm willing to be proven wrong), nobody in this thread has, with any level of seriousness, posted anything that has "sexual undertones".

There is a vast difference between discussing the social interaction of people who have different sexual preferences and actually discussing the act or desire of sex (whether same-gender or hetero) in any way.

I've made my position perfectly clear, I think, and I am pleased with the way that people on both sides of the discussion (it certainly isn't an argument) have responded.

Nobody here is actually promoting sexual activity in any way, and nobody here is lambasting sexual preference in any way. The only person who seems to find any form of "undertone" here is you, and thus, I quote my mother: "If one man calls you an ***, take no notice. If three men call you an ***, buy a saddle."

Edit: Gah, darned American language sensibilities *** = alternative word for donkey

Ok, what ever. I was just fearing for the thread. Seen them get locked for less. Calling me an *** is a whole different can of worms. Thanks

But the possibility is still there, lurking and waiting for some unsuspecting innocent person to wander into the thread.
And that's the terrbile danger of these types of threads - that someone could be exposed to even the tiniest hint of hot, sweaty man-love.

Hm, let's see if I can get this right:

Cherokee is commenting that the thread is about sex, whereas others state it's about sexual identity - not the act. But we can all agree that the thread is about someone's search for a g-a-y supergroup, right?

The only difference (as far as I'm concerned) between a g-a-y man/woman, and a straight man/woman is whom they choose to have sex with. So really, any conversation in a g-a-y supergroup that would in anyway be different from say, a supergroup with ONLY straight people in it, would be about whom they're currently bangin'?

I guess if you look at it like that, the thread could be accused of being about sex. But you'd have to reeeaally stretch it out (ehehehe), as I have just done.
